Self-Portrait

This was meant to represent my feelings about my own sexual identity upon realizing how negatively it’s viewed by some of society, and even my own family.

grieving a life I’ll never have

I’m a 44/F and coming to terms emotionally that I’m a lesbian. I’m married to a man and we’ve discussed it. He’s content to never have sex again rather than lose me. Neither of us have a very high sex drive, but that’s still a heavy reality to sit with that I’ll never have sex again because he begged me not to cheat on him. Not that I would. I don’t know that I’d even want to leave…he’s my person…but I hate that it doesn’t feel like I got to make that decision myself. And I will just never know what it’s like to truly live authentically, so I just feel like I’m grieving a life I’ll never get to have. I truly don’t know if I’m asking for advice or just venting.

Desperately Seeking Friends

I’m a married 44/F and cat mom of 3. I identify as a biromantic lesbian. I’ve been really struggling with my sexual identity lately, actually. More about me: I work in healthcare, run a concert photography business, and own my own music publication with a team of 30-something. I’m also a college student. I keep pretty busy, but am desperately lonely. I’m primarily looking for someone to talk to, but I’d love the option to meet up at some point to hang out in person.

Desperately Seeking ~40+ Friends (NC, USA)

Hello! I’m a 44 year old female in NC, USA. I have a husband, 2 IRL friends, some online friends but nothing super close, and zero asexual friends. I’m actually going through a very hard time currently with my sexuality and mental health, and could really use a new friend or two. Preferably in or around NC? I’d love someone closer to my age, but I get along with all ages.
